Hi, there:

	Question about the installation of 386BSD:

	I got all three distributions of the 386BSD, and I could
	install the bindist without problem, but when I tried to
	install the srcdist and etcdist, I got some problems:

	( Here is the message I got when I tried to install the srcdist )
===================================================
	# loadfd
	  	/* feed srcdist floopies here */
	# extract src01
	Checking distribution files:
	Upacking distribution:
	cpio: current <usr/src/Makefile> newer or same age
		/* unpacking, after a long time */
	cat: src01.61: To many open files
	cpio: Can't read input: : No such file or directory
	extract: Cannot unpack distribution, failed.
===================================================

	( Here is the message I got when I tried to install the etcdist )
===================================================
	# loadfd
	  	/* feed etcdist floopies here */
	# extract etc01
	Checking distribution files:
	Upacking distribution:
		/* unpacking, after a long time */
	Final installation:
	/tmp/install.etc01: Can't open /tmp/install.etc01
	extract: cannot execute installation script of distribution, failed.
===================================================

	The result of "ls" did not show the file "install.etc01". (However,
	I did get the file "install.bin01" when I installed the bindist).

	Any comment will be appreciated.
